To be dreading the onset of summer fruit season?

[TheRealAmandaClarke]

Because it's met with a chorus of people who make a point of heavily stating their preference for raspberries over strawberries in a manner that suggests they are the only ones who can tell the different?

Or has sleep deprivation finally finished off any tolerance whatsoever?

I can't say it is an issue I have ever had

I prefer strawberries though.

Hmm, it is a hard choice but I think the raspberries have it.. Just.

Sorry but peaches beat them all

I am ok with the onset of the summer fruit season personally. We have an excellent PYO place.

I wouldn't worry too much.

Our local pyo had closed

I have never had a nice peach. They've always been too ripe or underripe and I hate the feeling of the skin.

I think I'm in the raspberry camp, just. I am very particular about them and I can't tolerate even slightly squishy ones. I also scrutinise each one for mould.

Sirzy.

Pffft to strawberries and raspberries

Bring on the gooseberries, I say

I just love British fruit, don't care what it is, just I know we grow some of the best fruit in the world and I love it fresh and seasonal

Raspberries and nectarines rule!
Too many supermarket strawberries taste of nothing. It puts me off.

I fucking love raspberries.
Can't afford the buggers though.

Oh, and peaches are all fuzzy which is just wrong.

Mmm gooseberry crumble.

Anything local, but I am a raspberry fiend too, sorry.

I hate supermarket fruit, it is rarely really edible.

Gooseberries-I just can't do them. My Mum used to make gooseberry crumble and i always hated it.

I love going to the PYO. Even DS1 (14) came with us last year and he hates us. He every nearly enjoyed himself.

That's very true Normal

Nectarines over peaches here personally.
And either strawbs or rasps.

Oh dear. I know I was BU
And slightly unhinged.

Now Rhubarb crumble I like.

If you want to be unhinged about something AIBU on Mumsnet is the place Amanda.

Do you feel better getting it off your chest?

I'll top that with rhubarb crumble ice cream

The power of PYO sparkling amazing places

This thread now has me craving fruit which won't be in season for a few months.

Both are good.

Failing to see the issue with people having a preference.

I want a gooseberry crumble now, yum yum

granddad used to grow them and we would pick and eat them even if they were really really sour.

Yep, my dad grows raspberries. Think my 3yr old ate them all.
It's a wonder she's wasn't ill!

I tend to have Strawbs because the DC like them.

I know Sirzy, i wonder if he will come again this year? [dein]
